What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 2004
A collection of MIDI files, mostly video game music sorted by console, with anime tunes, sheet music and a message board.
Game tunes are filed by system, from the NES and Super Nintendo to the PlayStation, and a help page explains what a MIDI file is. In the late 1990s many web pages played a MIDI tune on loading, using Internet Explorer's BGSOUND tag.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
